I've done this with several programs. First, is your "correct directory"
/usr/lib/images? Next, what is your app name? I think it must be the
same as your icon, e.g. myApp, myApp.icon

I never did the WM_CLASS code you mentioned. What I did was to take
the xwsh program, copy it to xwsh_myapp, create an icon
/usr/lib/images/xwsh_myapp.icon , and then when we invoked the xwsh_myapp
(we use xwsh_myapp -e myapp to run an app in the window shell) and iconize
it, well, it just works.
